"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Dawkins points out how the goalposts have been moved from the Turing test without justification and claims it can be viewed as a test of consciousness.

I talked to an acquaintance earlier that is writing a paper on computer science stuff. His university advisor told him to chuck it into claude and if claude says it would pass then he will accept it for a conference. Claude didnt accept it and the worst part is, my acquaintance just agreed with this outcome saying its a valid test because Claude is "state of the art".

Shits fucked man. LLMs are automated thought termination.

? Claude can't accept anything.

Did it find badly worded sentences that needed correction? Did it find prior work that the paper unknowingly duplicated?

Obviously in the wider sense of "accept". As in they asked it whether the paper would pass review and if there are any major issues with it. But also the answer is completely irrelevant, its the process thats the problem.

It's still weird cuz they're supposedly very sycophantic

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is he undergraduate? Because this only makes sense if he is undergraduate and this paper is just to practice how to research something.

I mean, I don't expect much from advisors, but you're not really advising much if you're leaving it up to an LLM to do your job.
